I'm planning on applying for it as well. I know very little about it, though.

There's also a Deloitte and Touch one if you interested. Check out their homepage, to get some information, which they are prepared to send you.

I applied but didnt get throught the verbal and numerical reasoning tests they sent. I had never done anything like it, and ran out of time in the maths one, tho the maths itself was relatively simple. Make sure you know what you're getting before you start the timed tests, cos once u start, thats it... Good luck

yep. Two 20min online tests. THey give you a practice one, but its not much use if you're not used to the type of test.

KMPG also offer a very highly-regarded gp scheme.

Out of interest, roughly how much can you expect to earn doing one of these placements?

just out of interest. i'm considering applying for this but i'm not sure if it's a good idea because i want to do electronic engineering at university so i'm thinking maybe year in industry scheme is better in terms of uni applications...or doesn't it matter?

:confused:
